Journey to the West
Regents Primary School of Shenzhen, Ding, Zhenxuan - 9
A
long time ago, there’s a famous Chinese classic novel called”Journey to the West”.
The story told us about a monk in the Tang Dynasty, whose name was Xuanzang. He
represented the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and went to the West to get the Buddhist scriptures.
On the way to the West, Xuanzang decided to take in three apprentices. The first one was Sun wukon. He
was a monkey. He usually carried a gold stick.The second one was a pig. His name was Pigsy. He was
holding a nail rake all the time. The third one was the Sand Monk. They followed Xuanzang to go to the
West.
One day, they arrived at a mountain. They were so tired and hungry. Then Xuanzang said, ”Wukon, I am
hungry, would you please go to get some food?” So Sun wukon wandered off, but he couldn’t find any
food.
This mountain lived a monster. Her name was ‘White Bones’. She thought, ”I want to eat the meat of
Xuanzang, but I need to find a way.um......”
Then, she changed to a beautiful girl, and appeared in front of Xuanzang and said she wanted to give him
some food. Xuanzang said, ”Female donor, why do you come here?” The White Bones said, ”I live down
the hill, my father works on the hill. I send him food every afternoon. Because you are so hungry, so I give
the food to you.”
At this time, Sun Wukon was back. He noticed that the girl was a goblin. He picked up the gold stick
and hit the goblin. The girl was killed. White Bones then turned into a smoke and ran away.
On the other hand, Xuanzang said to Wukon, ”You killed people, Wukon, you are not my apprentice any
more, you go!” Sun Wukon replied, “Master, please give me one more chance.” Xuanzang said, ”Ok. I’ll
give you one more chance. Never again!”
The second time, The White Bones became an old lady. She was walking and crying, ”My daughter, My
daughter! Have you seen my daughter?” Pigsy said immediately, ”Oh no! Master, it must be the girl’s mum
looking for her daughter! “
“No!” said Sun Wukon, ”This old lady is the same monster!” Then Sun Wukon took out the gold stick
and hit the goblin. The old lady died. White Bones immediately turned into a smoke and ran away again.
Then Pigsy said, ”Wukon kills people again!” So Xuanzang said,” Wukon, you killed people again. You
are not my apprentice anymore. You go!”
After hearing that Sun Wukon went away and disappeared.
The third time, the White Bones became a grandpa. He was walking and crying, ”My wife and daughter.
My wife and daughter! Have you seen my wife and daughter?” Then Pigsy replied, ”Oh no! Master, it must
be the girl’s dad and the old lady’s husband looking for his family! “
Xuanzang then said to the old man, ”Sorry! My apprentice had killed your family. As a result I have driven
him away.”
“hahaha!” White Bones laughed out loudly, ”You are cheated by me! I am the White Bones Monster, the
young girl and the old lady are both mimicked by me. I’m going to eat you!”
Suddenly, Sun Wukon appeared from the sky. He took out his gold stick and hit the goblin. This time,
the White Bones Monster was not prepared at all, she was killed instantly. She then turned into a bunch of
bones and never ran away.
